Different people have different habits. When I sit down to watch "The Office" I change to that channel then put the remote down until the credits when I change to CBS to watch "CSI". I don't flip channels because I'm not interested in seeing 2 minutes of another show or 2 minutes of commercials on another channel.

How 'bout Agnus, Denise and Paula. :)

The gold wasn't to bribe other countries (though I do remember something dealing with the underwater hardlines), it served several purposes, including giving Epiphyte II hard assets--thus preventing The Dentist from recouping the entirety of the corporation in litigation for corporate negligence, and/or reducing the equity share he would receive if he did win in court [I can't remember])--and also creating a solid basis for digital currency without requiring them to deal with some of the shadier sorts in the earlier Kinakutan meeting, and finally there was some mention of along the theme of holocaust prevention, since the money came from the blood of others to begin with.

So...they're using Linux, but it's from SCO. Is this good or bad?

Why don't they all pool their money together to make a new Star Trek series that doesn't suck, rather than support Enterprise; the reason why Enterprise is failing is because it's not a good show.

I've been to all the levels OTS, total customization, and COTS and they all work and fail depending on if they tool fits. Most tools do not fit the requiremnts and usually create hurdles for the poor peopel that have to use them. Very often the managers and developers dont; even consult the end-user. TThen when you deploy an honestly well doen better system lots of users dont; want to change they way they've been doing things forever, they dont; want to change even if you show them that the new way is faster and easier for them and the reason is either lazyness, ignorance, or wanting to save their own jobs.
